Replying to: waltaz (Feb 23, 2008 11:26 pm) Congrats on your new G!! Looks like you did everything right and got a great deal.. Would you mind posting what you paid for the license plate registration and title fees? I know that doesn't help anyone on the list outside of AZ, but I will be stopping in this week to see if I can close my deal and want to see if my out the door numbers are correct.. Based on my estimates the license plate/registration fee would be about $630 and the title fee $20. Is this close to what you paid? Thanks again for your help and congrats!! Randy |

Replying to: praz (Feb 24, 2008 8:25 am) I have been into this dealer before and I believe the $1,995 in extras includes Nitrogen filled tires, Wheel Locks, Door Edge Gaurds, and Zaktek premium paint protectant. Waltaz would have to confirm but this is what they told me was included with each vehicle.

Replying to: kman1311 (Feb 24, 2008 11:14 am) I will post up all the fees later tonight when I get home - didn't get around to it yesterday. As for the $1995, I'm not entirely sure, as the extra sticker detailing that was gone by the time I got the car (which Pinnacle had driven up from Infiniti of Scottsdale on McDowell Rd. - Pinnacle didn't have the color/trim combo that I wanted). I think kman is correct: tint, nitrogen, wheel locks, don't know about door guards as there aren't any of the black ones. The Zaktek is above the $1995 and is shown as a separate, "hard-coded" line item of $297 on the order. I had them white that out, said no way, though you still get it. More to follow... |

Mine is NOT anything like a melting plastic smell. Be sure to check your new engine's oil regularly as you break it in - new motors often will burn a little oil as they wear in and you need to make sure it is topped up if it uses any. Dennis |

Replying to: happycamry (Feb 23, 2008 6:29 pm) I used it 3 years ago when getting my wife a new Accord and it did nothing to help me. The dealers that deal low were the lowest, the other dealers would not touch the deal (down into holdback) that I already again. Again, a limited number of dealerships in the area limits the competition. Miami shows 6 dealers, Orlando or Tampa show 4, but Tallahassee and Jacksonville have just 1 each. So south FL is not too bad a place to shop, but north FL would look a lot tougher. You and I may be here trying to help folks and post honest prices, but you can't know that for everyone that posts here. In fact, I can only vouch for the veracity of the price that *I* paid in the forum  . The point is - if you can get a price close to invoice for the car, destination, and dealer fee then you have a good price - for sure if you don't have to travel to get it. IF you do have enough dealers to compete for the deal then you may can get lower - but a lot of that depends on how many dealerships are around to compete and who owns them. Patience always serves a buyer well and waiting can often produce a better price - but if you find the current finance rate or lease rate to your liking the waiting could produce a lower price but higher financial numbers.

Replying to: waltaz (Feb 23, 2008 11:26 pm) Sounds like you did fine - you got a good price for the new car and a fair trade and go to use the trade to save sales tax on the new deal. And you didn't have to spend a lot of time travelling way away from home to save money either. Your car is already tinted against the AZ sun, right? Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Feb 25, 2008 1:22 pm) I can't tell you how happy I am with the overall deal - I'm just thrilled. Pinnacle is the closest dealer to me, about 15 minutes from home, and I hit the financial targets I set at the outset of the process. Again, it's a win-win as far as I'm concerned, and I have absolutely no regrets. Well, other than the fact that my wife is the primary driver...

Replying to: happycamry (Feb 22, 2008 4:55 pm) I agree. Holdback is pure profit so why would anyone ignore it when negotiating a price? I tried to tell the forum earlier that determining Actual Dealer Cost, not just "invoice" is the way to proper starting point for negotiating your final offer, but it fell on deaf ears. When doing the remote bidding process ('fax or internet attack') ask for and get the dealer's final, out the door, bottom line price including any doc. prep and destination fees but excluding mandatory gov't taxes & fees (tax, title, license, registration, which are constant). That way they can't surprise you when you show up to sign. Tell them that if that's not the price on the paperwork, you'll walk. Obviously, the fax attack isn't very effective in one dealer towns--but even then you can still use it to bluff you're way into a good price. [The Des Moines Iowa Infinity fleet manager doesn't know that you don't want to drive to metro Chicago to get a better price. Call his bluff. ] |
